In fact, as far as neighborhoods go in Chicago, it was pretty bad. There was a high crime rate, and a lot of the buildings were run-down, abandoned, or only infrequently used. Streetlights were out in a lot of places, so when night closed in, it was darker than most areas. It舗s always been a favorite haunt for some of the darker things that come crawling out of the Nevernever for a night on the town.

It舗s not that I舗ve never welshed on a deal, but I舗ve never done it with anyone human舒and definitely not with someone who looked up to me. Sometimes I hate having a conscience, and a stupidly thorough sense of honor.
